Paramount Snags ‘Boy Scouts vs. Zombies’
Deadline is reporting that Paramount Pictures has acquired Carrie Evans and Emi Mochizuki’s Boy Scouts vs. Zombies, a screenplay that was on the infamous Black List (they deserve a merit badge!) It’s said to be in the vein of Goonies, and is about a local boy scout troop that must save the local girl scout troop from a zombie outbreak on an overnight camping trip. The film is being produced by Todd Garner’s Broken Road, Oops Doughnuts partners Andy Fickman and Betsy Sullenger, and Bryan Brucks’ Brucks Entertainment.
Fresh off his brief appearance as Longlegs in Scary Movie, Deadline reports that Chris Elliott will star alongside Michael Ian Black in Sasquatch creature comedy Bad Day for Bigfoot.
Sara Tomko (Resident Alien), Oliver Cooper (Project X) and James Duval (Donnie Darko) also star in the film from filmmakers Zach Green and Devin O’Rourke (Foil).
Deadline details in today’s exclusive report, “The film follows a Bigfoot hoax that goes horribly wrong in the middle of an actual Sasquatch hot spot, leading to a chaotic struggle between the hoaxers, investigators, and a supernatural force that defies explanation.”
“I have always been drawn to cryptids and monster lore, and the over-the-top sincerity of 80s and 90s protagonists,” director Zach Green said in a statement. “Bad Day for Bigfoot is a love letter to those creature-filled adventure comedies. I couldn’t be more proud of the cast and crew we’ve assembled, and for the support and enthusiasm from the people of La Grande [Oregon]. It was their gumption that proved to us that making this thing was very possible, and that what’s lurking in those woods may be very real indeed.”
The cast also includes Ashley Rae Spillers, Brian McGuire and Kyle D. King.
